Patients with hereditary syndromes with renal tumors initially may present to the dermatologist. It is essential that dermatologists recognize these syndromes because the early diagnosis of renal cancer may prove to be lifesaving. The 4 hereditary syndromes with cutaneous manifestations are von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome, tuberous sclerosis (TS), and hereditary leiomyoma renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome. This article reviews these disorders, emphasizing their cutaneous features and renal manifestations.
